This is another interesting drawing technique. Ask your child to color the cabbage leaf with white paint or toothpaste and attach it to the paper. In the print you will see a wonderful winter tree. And if you try a little, you can depict an entire forest in this way. It is better to use Chinese cabbage.
If your child likes to sculpt, then he will definitely like the creation Christmas tree decorations from salt dough.
Salted dough without cooking:
1 cup flour
0.5 cups salt (preferably “Extra”)
0.5 cups water (add food coloring if necessary)
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients and knead thoroughly until smooth.
This dough makes wonderful figures that can be dried and painted.
Using modeling molds (can be replaced with cookie cutters), we cut out the figures, dry them in a warm place (for example, for several days near a radiator) and paint them with paints. When sculpting, you can also decorate the product with cereals or seeds.
Surely in every home there is a roll sleeve toilet paper or paper towels. Cylindrical packages can also be used.
Wrap the sleeve in wrapping paper or a nice fabric and tie the edges with a ribbon. Don't forget to hide a surprise inside the cylinder!
This candy can be used as a Christmas tree decoration.
The tree can become a baby's handprint. When the drawing is dry, spread it with glue and sprinkle with salt. After the glue has dried, shake off any remaining loose material.
The child can decorate such a Christmas tree with felt balls or plasticine balls that he rolls himself. To give a festive atmosphere, the pine cone can be painted in advance green, apply glue to the edges and sprinkle with glitter or salt.
Cut off the front part of the sock (this will be the cap) and set it aside. Turn the resulting workpiece inside out and tie one free edge with a thread. Instruct your child to pour rice into the resulting bag (it’s more convenient to do this with a spoon). Tie the free edge. Using a thread, form the snowman's body and head. Wear a hat and decorate as you wish. The child can tie a scarf for the snowman.
A snowman with cereal is not only a home decoration, but also a wonderful tactile toy.
Volumetric paints look very unusual and beautiful. And it’s very easy to do. Just mix shaving foam with PVA glue in a ratio of 2 to 1. If necessary, you can add liquid dyes.
